一百多年前人们眼中的2000年(珍贵组图)

Back in1899-1901, French artists imagined what their nation might look like in another century. They tapped into their imaginations, drew their futuristic designs, then distributed them as paper cards enclosed in cigar boxes right around the time of the World’s Fair in Paris. The drawing above imagines the French classroom in the Year2000. You can see an extensive collection of other designs–23 images in total— at The Public Domain Review. H/T@WFMU
